Using Digital Tools To {Re} Define Citizen Engagement

WHAT WE DO

We embed developers and data fellows in newsrooms to create innovative platforms for better
information dissemination and encourage collective action through citizen engagement

We organise data bootcamps to share knowledge on open-data tools and demonstrate the value
of open-data to the broader soceity.

We build civic apps and platforms that will keep citizens well informed so that they can
demand accountability, transparency and better services from the government.

We partner with CSOs, NGOs and Government organisations to bring meaning to their
data-sets.

We are also doing something bolder; we are taking a different approach to open governance.

Code for Ghana aims to help shape the open data movement in Ghana. One way we achieve
this is by regular meet ups. During these sessions, we bring together open data
enthusiastes to share their expertise and experience with the wider community.

Are you a civil-society organisation? Does your work entail open data, transparency
and public data analysis? Do you often have challenges communicating your
information in the right context to your audience? Then, you can partner with us to
tackle this challenge.
